Don't overlook this when striving for "vintage" tones. I was playing around with this last night and it's very powerful in making edge-of-breakup tones sound like an old, well-played amp (if that's your thing).
thanks for the cool insight! what does this parameter equate to in a real amp, exactly? basically just an inverse proportion to core sizing?Don't overlook this when striving for "vintage" tones.

does it have a similar tonal effect to browning the b+? what about the feel/response of the power section?
don't have the ii yet, so i can't fiddle with it, but i'll certainly keep it in mind for the tweed patches i make.

are you talking about Transformer LF and HF ? and if the bandwidth narrows, wouldn't that have to be the other way around ?... the bandwidth narrows, so raise the LF and lower the HF reponse.
Don't forget when you push a real transformer the bandwidth narrows, so raise the LF and lower the HF reponse. Thankfully Cliff added these critical parameters.

Not much going on for guitar above 10k anyway, at least electric. No problem with those freqs being filtered out.
all right, gotcha ! so you're actually going "with" the effect of a narrower bandwith when pushing the transformer rather than going against it (that's how I understood it at first). cool !Yup and Nope. Both highs and lows roll off as you run out of headroom (i.e. the power bandwidth narrows) so you can raise the LF above 100Hz or so and lower the HF to around 10kHz or lower (where I like it).
